Hmmm. Are Solyndra's jobs considered "created" or "saved"?Nancy Folbre: The Green Jobs Numbers - NYTimes.com
The study estimates an increase in direct employment of about 367,000 jobs, while indirect employment effects came to about one million not a cure-all for an economy with more than 14 million unemployed, but a significant contribution.
The cost per job created varied considerably, and not all programs have moved forward as quickly as they should have. But as a report from Think Progress carefully documents, sensationalized assertions of a million dollars or more spent per job are misleading. Overall, the costs of green jobs creation, whether funded with public or private dollars, are lower than those in most other sectors of the economy, at an average of about $60,000 each. These jobs are likely to last for years, generating private cost-savings and important public benefits.
Retrofits to improve the energy efficiency of our existing building stock offer a particularly high rate of return.

When you X out American Motors, the whole American auto industry died, correct? Your logic is at it normal low level, Walleyes.
Strange you people hate industries that are adding jobs to the economy and creating energy for the use of that economy.
